Ingredients
Popcorn Base
- 2 bags microwave popcorn
- 1 ½ cup rice krispie cereal
Mix-ins
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Prepare Popcorn: Cook your popcorn according to the package directions to ensure it’s freshly popped and crispy. Remove any unpopped kernels to avoid biting into hard pieces.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold together the freshly popped popcorn, rice krispie cereal, melted chocolate, and toffee bits until everything is evenly coated and well mixed.
- Press Into Pan: Spread the mixture evenly into a lightly greased or parchment-lined 9×13 inch baking pan, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to set the chocolate and firm up the bars.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled and firm, slice into bars, serve, and enjoy your delicious Toffee Crunch Popcorn Bars!
Notes
- Use fresh popcorn for the best texture; stale popcorn may become chewy.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning it; stir frequently during melting.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the bars before chilling.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Can be customized by using different types of chocolate or adding nuts.
